(Formerly Lemm.ee)

Description

A place for Progressive Muslims of all sects and schools of thought. We seek to foster an atmosphere of understanding, tolerance, and peace between all peoples.

Community Rules

Be respectful of one another

Please treat others with respect. Being respectful means :

listening, even if strongly disagree;
being thoughtful of other people’s feelings;
assuming that things are said in good faith (unless otherwise indicated);
addressing mistakes, errors, or shortcomings with kindness;
make decisions based upon what is right, not who or what you like;
live and let live (i.e., don’t condemn people to death or suffering because they have chosen a different lifestyle).

We do not promote ultra conservative ideas

Although Discussion around mainstream conservative Islamic theology is allowed in this community, we do not allow promotion of such conservative ideas. Therefore, posts & comments that promote such ultra-conservative ideas & websites will be removed.

All contributions should be made in good faith

Contributing in good faith means being open to considering the arguments made by the other side, either in whole or in part. Rather than rejecting the entire progressive/conservative argument, what parts of the argument can you agree upon? Posts simply aiming to antagonize, preach, or pronounce takfir over an individual or group would are obvious examples of bad faith contributions.

Don’t proselytize

Submissions seeking to proselytize other religions or no religion, or promoting one sect or denomination over others will be removed. Posts/Comments linking to non-lslamic or Salafist sources may be removed where such links might serve to legitimize kufr, Salafist, or extremist modes of thinking.

No flamewars, dramas, or brigading other Lemmy communities

While memes, screenshots, and images involving other Lemmy communities are permitted, any identifying features must be omitted or censored. Please black out or obscure any username.

If you are posting images or screenshots of other social media websites then censoring names isn’t necessary.

Memes (weekends only), screenshots, and other images

While memes, screenshots, and images involving other communities are permitted, any identifying features must be omitted or censored. Please black out or obscure any usernames. Also, memes may only be posted on weekends.

Violations of Community rules 3 times within the period of 6 months will result in a Community ban

At their discretion, moderators may issue up to three warnings for rule violations before banning a user. Be aware that more serious offenses (e.g., violating your User Agreement with Lemmy) may result in an instant and permanent ban. Moreover, “at the discretion of the moderators” means that the moderators may opt to permanently ban any user without prior warning if they deem the rule violation to be particularly serious.

We have zero tolerance for hate speech

We will remove any content promoting violence or hatred against individuals or groups based on any of the following attributes:

Age
Disability
Ethnicity
Gender identity
Gender expression
Nationality
Race
Immigration Status
Religion (incl. sect)
Sex/Gender
Sexual orientation

Use English

All users are required to use English in all posts and parent comments. Users must provide an English translation if posting materials from non-English sources. Videos must either be in English or have English subtitles. We also understand that certain non-English words are part of the standard discourse of Islam and as such some discretion some non-English words are allowed without translation (e.g., Allah).

Replying to the parent comments in other languages is allowed

Mental Health Rule

We are not a mental health service. Please be aware that content may be removed if the community has concerns about the mental health or wellbeing of a user. We reserve the right to contact Lemmy admin should a user express thoughts about suicide or serious self-harm. In some cases, users expressing extreme levels of anxiety around a religious issue may be asked to consult with either an Islamic scholar or a mental health professional, depending upon the circumstances.

Report the trolls and move on

Please do not engage with trolls. While trolls are sometimes difficult to detect and to discern from genuine posters, if you believe that you have encountered a troll, please cut off all contact. Report and move on. You know the saying: “Don’t feed the trolls”!

Suspicious account activity

Accounts may be banned if there is a marked incongruence between account age and account karma. We have taken this step to cull farmed troll accounts.

Lemmy.ca

A Canadian-run community, geared towards Canadians, but all are welcome!

Welcome 🍁

Lemmy.ca is run by Canadians, hosted in Canada, and geared toward Canadians. However, it is not restricted to Canadians, or Canadian culture/topics/etc. All are welcome!

To learn more about what Lemmy is, or how the Fediverse works, you can visit our simple Getting Started Guide.

This site is run by the non-profit Fedecan and funded entirely by user donations. You can help support us by visiting our donations page.

Rules and Guidelines

1. No Bigotry

Including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia.

2. Be Civil

Argue in good faith, attack the argument; not the person, and promote a healthy debate. That includes implying violence, threats or wishes of violence and/or death.

3. No Porn

This instance is not made to host porn communities. You’re free to access porn communities on other instances through your account, but be mindful of Rule 4.

4. Use the NSFW tag

Use your common sense: if you wouldn’t want this image to show up on your work computer, tag it as such. In comments, use the :::spoiler ::: tag for NSFW images, and put a NSFW mention beside links. Do not use NSFW images as your avatar or banner.

5. No Ads / Spam

This instance is not there to act as your billboard. If you want to promote your personal work, at least make the effort to be a contributing member of this community. Your account purpose shouldn’t be to only advertise, make it natural.

6. Bot account

If you are the operator of a “bot” account, make sure to flag is as such in the account’s settings.

7. Right to privacy

Do NOT distribute the personal information of someone else without their consent (aka doxxing). Information that is public domain can be shared, provided it is in good faith.
ex: The official email of an elected official is fair, the private phone number or the real name of a non-public person is NOT.

8. Report abuse

The report function isn’t labelled the disagree button. You might not agree with someone, but that doesn’t mean what the person says is against the rules. Using it repeately in this fashion will lead to actions being taken against the reporter.

9. Impersonation

Don’t make an account with the intent to negatively deceive or defame someone on the fediverse.
ex: Parody of a famous person is okay, submitting outrageous content as appearing like another user, mod or admin isn’t.
